Easy Draw Online Class

Have you ever found the “perfect” block online. But then realized you wanted to piece it a different way. Maybe you want rotary cutting instructions or a foundation pattern. Or maybe you want a different size to incorporate into a different quilt. With Electric Quilt you can redraft these blocks. This class will focus on how to “read a block” and then come up with the most efficient way to draft it with Electric Quilt. The blocks in this class are those that can be done in a “grid” format – basically just like drawing with a pencil and graph paper. Within Electric Quilt these blocks are drafted within Easy Draw.

Over 20 blocks will be included in this class. Plus a layout to highlight your great work.

Pieced Patch Draw Online Class

Applique Drawing Online Class

Take your Electric Quilt skills to the next level by learning to draft applique blocks using Electric Quilt.

We will start with the basics by learning to clone, rotate, resize and manipulate applique patches.

This will be followed by learning to use some of the predefined shapes in EQ, using wreathmaker, adjusting existing applique blocks from the library, playing with the swath tool and tracing a motif using Line, Bezier and Freehand tools.

Foundation Piecing Design Online Class

Take your Electric Quilt skills to the next level by learning to draft your own foundation blocks using Electric Quilt.

You will start by learning the basics of good foundation blocks along with learning how to make a "not-so-good" block into a good block. You will also learn the ins and outs of the printing process. Then you will proceed to creating blocks -- first some simple tree blocks to reinforce Easy Draw drafting concepts. You will then use applique elements for inspiration and even use Serendipity for a foundation within a foundation block. You will graduate to using actual photos as a backdrop and learn the tricks to creating and filling sections in your foundation blocks.
